Deadly 5 Demo & Slot Review

Deadly 5 is Push Gaming’s 2022 Wild West slot built around one compact Free Spins feature rather than a chain of modifiers; the choice is whether a plain 20-line base game is enough when the real draw sits in the Sheriff’s Bonus and its optional 80× buy.

Deadly 5

3.5 out of 5

Deadly 5 is a medium-volatility video slot from Push Gaming, released on 31 August 2022. The studio page describes the Sheriff’s Badge Wild, Safe Scatters that award 10–20 Free Spins with instant wins, the Sheriff’s Bonus with a sticky Wild reel and Wanted Poster expansions, a highest observed win of 5,000× and RTP 96.39% or 94.35%.

This card follows that studio page, the attached demo paytable and rules frames, and published rule copies for the Bonus Buy. It is not a report of played cash sessions.

For adults of legal gambling age in their location. Set a budget you can afford to lose.

Deadly 5 review overview

5×4 grid and 20 fixed lines

Deadly 5 pays left to right on 20 fixed lines across five reels and four rows; a win needs three or more matches on consecutive reels from reel 1. The Sheriff’s Badge is the Wild on all reels and substitutes for everything except the Safe. The attached paytable at a 0.50 fun bet shows five Badges at 125.00, which is 250× the stake; demo cells at that bet are stake-linked preview figures.

Safe Scatter

Three, four or five Safes anywhere award 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins together with an instant win of 3×, 10× or 50× the bet. The higher tier doubles the starting spins and raises the trigger prize, so a five-Safe landing does more than add a few spins.

Who Deadly 5 suits

Deadly 5 suits readers who want fixed paylines and a short, readable Free Spins rule set at medium volatility. It is less suited to anyone looking for cascades, growing multipliers or a bonus that builds state from spin to spin.

Best for

  • Players who want a compact Free Spins round with full Wild reels
  • Readers comparing medium-volatility Push Gaming line slots
  • Anyone checking the 96.39% and 94.35% builds against the studio page

Not ideal for

  • Players who want multipliers that grow during the bonus
  • Anyone treating an 80× Bonus Buy as low-risk
  • Readers assuming every copy runs at 96.39% RTP

How Deadly 5 rules and features work

Sheriff’s Bonus

At the start of Free Spins a full-reel Sheriff Wild appears on reel 5 and stays for every awarded spin. Reels 1 to 4 each sit under a Wanted Poster tied to one outlaw. When the matching outlaw lands on its own reel, the Expanding Symbols Feature turns that reel into a full Wild reel for the current spin. Several reels can expand at once, but expansions are not sticky.

Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus Buy

Where offered, the Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus costs 80× the bet and randomly awards one of the 10-, 15- or 20-spin starting packages. Published rule copies list 96.51% RTP for the purchase on the high-RTP build. The bonus rules themselves do not change.

How to play Deadly 5 responsibly

Set money and time limits before spinning or using the Bonus Buy. Count every 80× purchase at its full price against your ceiling, do not raise the bet to chase a five-Safe trigger, and confirm the active RTP on the loading screen.

  1. Check the RTP build first

    Push Gaming lists 96.39% and 94.35% as separate configurations. Confirm which figure the loading screen or game panel shows.

  2. Price the Bonus Buy against your ceiling

    Each Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus costs 80 base bets before the random package is known. Set a purchase limit in advance.

  3. No tier is ever due

    Several 10-spin triggers do not make a 20-spin trigger more likely next time. Keep the same stake and time limits.

Symbols and Paytable

Regular symbols pay on 20 lines with three or more on consecutive reels from reel 1; the Safe pays anywhere. Values below come from the attached paytable at a 0.50 fun bet and are shown as multiples of that stake. The four outlaws double as Wanted Poster expanders in Free Spins.

Sheriff’s Badge Wild

Wild on all reels that substitutes for every symbol except the Safe, and the top line pay. Values come from the paytable at the 0.50 fun demo bet and are stake-linked preview figures.

Safe Scatter

Pays anywhere and triggers the Sheriff’s Bonus: three, four or five Safes award 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins alongside the instant win.

El Fuego (bandit)

Strongest outlaw on the paytable. In Free Spins it expands into a full Wild reel when it lands under its Wanted Poster.

Masked cowgirl

Second outlaw on the paytable and one of the four Wanted Poster characters. Values at the 0.50 fun demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.

White-haired cowgirl

Third outlaw on the paytable and a Wanted Poster character that can expand on its own reel in Free Spins.

Cowboy with cigar

Lowest of the four outlaws and the last Wanted Poster character. Values at the 0.50 fun demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.

Gun holster

Upper Wild West object low on the 20-line table.

Canteen

Wild West object low with the same pay as the holster.

Cowboy boots

One of the two lowest Wild West objects on the 20-line paytable.

Horseshoes

Lowest Wild West object on the 20-line paytable.

Deadly 5 RTP, volatility and maximum win

Push Gaming’s Deadly 5 page lists two RTP configurations, 96.39% and 94.35%, with medium volatility and a 5,000× highest observed win. They are separate builds rather than a continuous range, so this card stores 96.39% as the displayed RTP and top of the span and 94.35% as the low end. Published rule copies add 96.51% for the Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus Buy on the high-RTP build. RTP is a long-run configuration value, not a session forecast; confirm the active figure on the loading screen or game panel.

How to interpret the numbers

Key point 1

An outlaw that lands on the wrong reel in Free Spins pays as a normal symbol but does not expand.

Key point 2

Read paytable amounts as values at the 0.50 fun bet shown, not as fixed cash prizes.

Key point 3

A 94.35% build is a different configuration from 96.39%. Check the loading screen for the version you opened.

Deadly 5 compared with other games

Other Push Gaming Western or line titles may share dusty streets and outlaws, but Deadly 5 keeps its bonus to one sticky Wild reel plus four positional expansions. Compare whether the Wild reel persists, whether expansions are sticky, the Bonus Buy price and which RTP build loads before treating another Western card as the same rulebook.

Deadly 5 compared with other games
Game Return / max win Volatility Bonus fit Watch out for
Deadly 5 94.35%–96.39% / 5,000× Medium Free Spins start with a full Wild reel 5; matching outlaws under their Wanted Posters add temporary full Wild reels. Shared Western art does not transfer the Wanted Poster rule, the 80× buy price or the 96.39% and 94.35% RTP settings between cards.
Johnny Cash 95.98% / 2,077× Medium to High Three, four or five Scatters open 10 Free Spins; Wilds become sticky on reels 2–4 until the round ends and can retrigger with more Scatters. Shared Free Spins wording does not make sticky-Wild reel limits or maximum multipliers interchangeable with other BGaming titles.
Hit The Route 97.18% / 4,588× Medium Stacked Wilds, Sticky Wild Girls in Free Spins, Mystery Wild respins with Sticky Wild Wheels Shared studio branding does not copy this card's 97.18% RTP or 4,588× ceiling.
